THE graduating class of the Federation University’s Arts Academy are making final preparations for their run of Cymbeline.<\/p>\n

Opening Wednesday 9 October, the play by William Shakespeare is a romantic story set across King Cymbeline’s first-century Britain, fifteenth-century Italy, and the remote Welsh mountains.<\/p>\n

A tragedy and comedy, as well as a romance, the play includes claims of infidelity, revelations and death.<\/p>\n

Zephya Amelie and Olivia Sultmann both play Innogen, the daughter of King Cymbeline.<\/p>\n

“Cymberline is Shakespeare’s forgotten play, and it’s rarely put on,” said Amelie. “It crosses over a lot of genres and has a bit of everything.”<\/p>\n

The students have chosen to set Cymbeline inside a video game, adding a modern twist.<\/p>\n

“There’s a lot of unique elements to it that you wouldn’t see in everyday Shakespeare,” said Sultmann.<\/p>\n

“With that we have backing tracks that add to that atmosphere of it which is really cool.”<\/p>\n

\"Shakespearean
Hamish Nelson as Posthumus, Olivia Sultmann as Innogen, and Zephya Amelie as Innogen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Both students are in the final year of their degree at Federation University Australia and Amelie said Cymbeline is the perfect conclusion to her experience.<\/p>\n

“I moved from Sydney to attend the Arts Academy here, so it was a big decision, but it was the best decision I’ve ever made,” said Amelie.<\/p>\n

“I really love the Arts Academy’s collaborative nature and I think Cymbeline has been kind of the perfect show to end on because it is really an ensemble show.”<\/p>\n

Cymbeline will be performed at the Helen Macpherson Smith Theatre. Tickets can be purchased at bit.ly\/4eyGt3k<\/a>.<\/p>\n
